Solar power (electricity) is produced in two
ways: by direct transformation of solar energy into current through
photovoltaic panels (solar PV), or by the concentration of solar energy
to create steam and drive a turbine (concentrated solar power).
Solar photovoltaics, which can be installed on your roof or in large ‘solar farms’, are relatively easy to understand. Solar energy in the form of light hits the solar panel, which excites electrons in the panel and creates an electric current. The current created by the solar panel is direct or DC current, and it flows to an inverter box which converts it into alternating or AC current (this is what’s used by all of your appliances and the electric grid in the United
